Lifesaver

Rozanna was first referred to me by a friend who happened to use opposing counsel because he felt that the way in which she represented her clients was both professional and fair. Two words which are usually not synonymous when referring to a lawyer. Not only did she help me resolve both judicial m...atters swiftly and effectively, she brought out a much needed balance of sanity during quite a chaotic period in my life. In short, she will get the job done and have solid results to show for it!

If you want a strong attorney, Rozanna is an excellent choice!

Rozanna helped me clean up the mess that my former attorney left. She listened to what I wanted and was fearless in her attempts to get it for me. Some lawyers I've dealt with will simply tell me they can't ask for something because they can't get it - Rozanna was not afraid to try. This lawyer is... upfront and gets down to business. I highly recommend her!

One of the best Family lawyers in Los Angeles

Excellent communication, very knowledgeable, efficient office, no BS, straight forward. I believe that I have excellent representation for my case from Mrs. Velen. Unlike many family lawyers who farm out most of the work of the case to their subordinates Jr. lawyers and just go to court to litig...ate being clueless about the case Mrs. Velen is on top of the game she knows the case well and knows the details well which can make or break the case in my opinion. Reasonable fees for her experience and knowledge. Stay away from the so called high powered celebrity lawyers who grossly overcharge their clients and have no clue about your case.

Lawyer Rozanna Velen settles a case with eloquence against one of the dirtiest Los Angeles divorce attorneys

Rozanna took on my case after an inexperienced family attorney got blind sided by a unethical dirty family law attorney. She went to great lengths to clean up a mess that was created by this other attorney. She was honest, straight forward, and really cared about the job she was doing. She is very sh...arp and focused with very clear boundaries of what is important in family law (the children). Her staff is amazing!

Rozanna Michelle Velen accepted my $7500 Retainer, I revived NOTHING in return!

Rozanna Michelle Velen accepted my $7500 Retainer, I received NOTHING in return? She refuses to speak to me? She is going to file a Restraining Order on me tomorrow because I asked her for my $7500 back! So now I can`t even call her office? She took on a Child Custody Case to help another Lawyer and... let mine go! I called her and waited all day for her to return my call. She Never did! She emailed me and said "Sorry" and that she would not have my case ready for the Court date! She said she would call my wife`s Lawyer to ask him if she could bring the missing paperwork with her to the Hearing? He must have said no? Then I received an email from her quitting my case? Keeping my $7500!!! I got NOTHING! Except an R.O. she is filing on me tomorrow? To keep me from asking for my money back? She forgets! She calls me and yells at me where is this paperwork? I said I sent it to you 2 days ago on a word doc. like you asked? Then she bills me for the phone call $95. She sets up a meeting, we go in the conference room. she shuts the door, slams her hands down on the glass table and yells at me, G.D. where are the answers`s to the production Questions! I needed them yesterday? Then she whips out a blank piece of paper and says. Look how easy this is, a,b,d! Very angry. I said are you done with your rant? Then I showed her the exact instruction paper she had given me, completed! She forgot she even gave it to me? Then she tells me to take my case home and organize it? I said it already was? She was going to charge me $475 for an hour to organize (staple) my case together? Where is here Intern do do that??? I did it! She charged me around $1500 for that meeting, to ask me questions she forgot??? She double charges so much, even she doesn't know how much? She told me the Judge we had was CRAZY, 3 separate times! She told me twice she would stay with me till the Hearing she had set. Then Quit, breaching our contract! Keeping the $7500? She offer me a Settlement? I said NO WAY! I don`t settle when someone does NOT complete the work, is late and what am I supposed to do now? She is a "Certified Family Law Specialist?" She caused me so much stress on top of this already stressful divorce! She is Dangerous to people coming to her for help! ! A weaker person might really be hurt by her actions! I am filing a complaint with the CA BAR! I am going to seek a Lawyer to consider suing her for all this stress she has caused me! My $7500 gone! I have nothing to show for it! Beware of this $475 hour Lawyer! She took my $7500 and now she is filing a R.O. on me for NOTHING! Just so I can`t call her office and ask for my money back! "What We Do In Life Echos For Eternity!" KARMA! DON`T DO IT! YOU WILL BE SORRY!!! I am! This on top of an already Stressful divorce! I am so sorry I retained her! Now I have no Lawyer, she took my money, and now she is filing an R.O. on me? For what? Wanting my money back because I got nothing from her?
